What drives animal responses to high severity fire? The role of functional traits

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fire regimes are changing worldwide, with increases in the frequency, extent, and severity of fires posing growing risks to biodiversity. Fire severity – the degree of habitat alteration following fire – strongly influences both immediate survival and long‐term recovery of fauna.

Kin discrimination in plants: overview and implications for population and community ecology

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Following the discovery of identity discrimination, particularly self and kin discrimination amongst plant competitors, research on interplant interactions has advanced significantly within plant physiology and evolutionary ecology. This review synthesizes current knowledge on how both self and kin discrimination influence plant growth ...

Evidence for adaptive explanations of semelparity in animals

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Semelparity, the reproductive strategy of reproducing once, is widespread but uncommon in animals. Classes of models to explain the evolution of semelparity are based either on age structure and mortality schedules – demographic models in which high post‐reproductive mortality risk favours high reproductive effort and semelparity results from ...

The use and limits of ITS data in the analysis of intraspecific variation in Passiflora L. (Passifloraceae)

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2010
The discovery and characterization of informative intraspecific genetic markers is fundamental for evolutionary and conservation genetics studies. Here, we used nuclear ribosomal ITS sequences to access intraspecific genetic diversity in 23 species of ...

Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.

Towards a Biodiversity Positive Business Strategy: The MCRV (Monitoring, Conserving, Restoring, Valorizing) Framework

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite mounting regulatory pressure and growing scientific consensus on biodiversity loss, most corporate action remains reactive, fragmented, and strategically peripheral. Existing frameworks address what firms should report rather than how they can build the organizational capabilities required to act strategically.

Species traits mediate terrestrial mammal density responses to human impacts

Ecography, EarlyView.
Human activities are reshaping ecosystems, but their effects on species population density remain poorly understood. Most studies focus on species presence–absence, thus limiting insight into how anthropogenic pressures affect population density. Emerging evidence suggests that responses of natural populations to human disturbance are highly variable ...

Disentangling the interactive effects of anthropogenic disturbances on biodiversity

Ecography, EarlyView.
Anthropogenic activity threatens biodiversity through climate change, habitat fragmentation, and increasing frequency and scale of disturbance. Various theoretical studies have sought to shed light on how these factors could promote or hinder the coexistence of species. However, our understanding of the relative importance of, and interactions between,

Decoupling environmental suitability from realized recruitment through ontogenetic environmental filtering in a long‐lived Mediterranean palm species

Ecography, EarlyView.
Long‐lived plants facing anthropogenic disturbance often exhibit recruitment failure despite persistent reproductive adults, generating extinction debt masked by longevity. However, whether adult presence reliably reflects environmental suitability for recruitment remains unclear.
